Feels like a good night to post this:
We hail thee, Carolina, and sing thy high praise; With loyal devotion, rememb'ring the days, When proudly we sought thee, thy children to be; Here's a health, Carolina, forever to thee!
Jake Bentley has been an outstanding QB for the Gamecocks during a difficult transition. He has handled himself with class and been a model student athlete for his career thus far. Wishing him a speedy recovery!
My dad, Bill Kimrey retired today after coaching for over 40 years. He shared this with me today: "Erik, when it's all over your trophies won't be made of silver & gold but of flesh & blood. Remember you coach for your players and the impact you have on their lives."

& I went to dinner while he was in town recruiting. I’ll never forget when he told me being the HC at USC was his dream job! Not surprised at all by his success. Proud of you Coach and grateful to be a part of what you are building!
#WelcomedHome
My whole childhood I wanted to be an NFL QB. My first day as a freshman at USC I saw this guy throw one pass..... and realized I needed to get into coaching. 😂

Our fans were amazing last night! Williams Brice was 🔥 🔥 🔥
It made a difference to our team and impressed some really important visitors!
You guys matter and we are grateful!!
#ForeverToThee
Reflecting on this win: It is one, if not the greatest, upset in the history of modern South Carolina football. 24 point underdogs on the road.
Friends, save your criticism. Go celebrate tonight!! It wasn’t perfect... but nothing of value is.

A life well lived! Andy is a reminder to all of us that simple things like a warm greeting and an authentic experience mean so much to so many. Rest In Peace “my friend.”
The great Art Baker used to say at practice all the time:
“It’s a great day to be alive!”
We would respond in unison:
“It’s a Thursday (or whichever day it was) to get better!”
Today is a great day to be a Gamecock!

Watching the game back. A few thoughts:
1. Our tackling was superb. I think we missed around 5 tackles.
2. Hilinski’s knee brace saved his ACL.
3. Our man coverage is pretty stellar now.
4. With the DL play our D is approaching elite. Just have to do it every week.
Phil Petty will be missed. He was a competitor and leader… intelligent, thoughtful, gritty as heck and our QB1.
Though he is no longer here his spirit lives and his legacy will remain steadfast at the University of South Carolina. Thread (1/5)
Welcome to Baylor!
The University of South Carolina’s tight ends coach Erik Kimrey has been tapped to head our football program.
“Baylor School is the place between two dreams, and we are incredibly excited to now be a part of Baylor and to live in Chattanooga,” said Kimrey.
A moment for perspective: Our young, injured team, who was embarrassed 2 years ago, is fighting their tails off. Only down 7 to the
#2
team in the country. Over 300 yards of offense at half. Not sure what will happen but the future is bright!
#SpursUp
Best leader I’ve ever coached, supremely talented, Sunday guy, intelligent, underrated, selfless, savage.. just a few words of many. Gamecock fans: Welcome Boogie!!!

Growing up, I wanted to be an NFL QB until the day i walked onto campus as a freshman and saw this dude throw a ball 55 yards on one knee.
I realized he was an NFL QB and I should get in to coaching! 😂
Deebo’s effort on the last play is something we should all be proud of and I thought was a microcosm of our effort. Congrats to Clemson who has a great team.

Heavy heart tonight as I’m thinking about Bob Shields and his battle with cancer. Bob has been a champion of high school athletics for decades. His professionalism is top shelf. Please join me in praying for Bob and his family during this Christmas season.
Don't care about rankings, stars, or offers...Bryce Thompson is the best football player in SC (& one of the best I've seen ever.) Hope he is in garnet next year bc he will make an immediate impact. Good luck

Jackson Muschamp was selected as the SCISA AAA Offensive Player of the Year. Jackson was 186/276 for 3062 yards 34 TDs (2nd most in school history) and only 6 INTs. He was also voted Captain by his teammates as a Junior! Congrats

Had our chances to keep it close. Can’t lose the marginal differences vs Bama. Our guys are playing hard and I’ve been more than impressed by Hilinski. The next two weeks will tell the tale for the 2019 gamecocks.
20 years ago today my brother, Kevin, was paralyzed. The support of our community and Gamecock fans everywhere was overwhelming. The shirt cut off of him that day, hangs in my office now. Kevin continues to inspire me and all those around him.
In an age where lack of information gets filled by speculation, rumor, and falsehood, we need to allow the space and time for people to be themselves... to be families... and to make family decisions when they want to make them.
The job
@CoachSBeamer
and staff did the last two weeks is simply incredible! So happy for him and the entire
@GamecockFB
program! Like he said, they are just getting started!
#ForeverToThee
Rewatching the Kentucky game in detail. Doesn’t take a trained eye to notice the absolutely superb play of Javon Kinlaw. I mean wow!!
He contemplated leaving early last year.... made the right decision to stay, transformed his body, & will get a huge return on his investment
Thank you
@CoachSBeamer
for believing in me and your unbelievable support through this whole process! Can’t wait to watch you continue to build
@GamecockFB
into a championship program!
#ForverToThee
Fired up for you and your family
@ErikKimrey
Thank you for your love of Gamecock Football and for all you did in 1 year to move this program forward !! 🤙🏻
13-0!! 8 weeks ago this team committed to the daily struggle of improving. Tonight was the result. Tonight was worth the struggle. Lesson learned. Hammond Skyhawks 2018 State Champions!
